Viking Necklace and Coin Bundle // Vegvisir Necklace + Helm of Awe Coin + Vinland Coin
Product Description
One to wear and two to carry.
"...if this sign is carried, one will never lose one's way in storms or bad weather, even when the way is not known."—Huld Manuscript.
The Vegvísir, or Norse compass, is an Icelandic magical stave, which, according to the Huld manuscript, protects one from losing their way in bad weather. Encircling the Vegvísir is the runic transliteration of the Icelandic phrase, "Ég stoppar ekki Þegar Þreyttur, ég stoppar Þegar ég er búinn", which translates to "I do not stop when tired, I stop when done." The coin is struck with an incuse design, in which the letters are lowered rather than raised, so the lettering will stay dark even if the coin is carried daily.
"I wore before the sons of men - In defense of my treasure; Amongst all, I alone was strong, I thought to myself, For I found no power a match for my own."
The Warrior's Stave is known by many names: The Helm of Awe, The Warrior's Helm, and even the Helm of Terror. In Icelandic, it is referred to as Ægishjálmur or Aegishjalmur. This coin may help you press through challenges and cross into newer horizons.
The Vinland Coin is a solid copper coin that might have been! Leif Ericsson founded a North American colony named Vinland that was later abandoned. If it had lasted, we think their money would have looked like this. The design was inspired by historical ancient viking coins, using similar imagery and engraved with chisel-engraving techniques. It features the norse god of skiing Ullr and the words "Vinland Moneta", translating to "Vinland Money."
